I Asked For...
God provids what we need...not neccesarily what we want

I asked for strengthÂ…and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom...and God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity...and God gave me brawn and brain to work.

I asked for courage...and God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience...and God gave me situations where I was forced to wait.

I asked for love...and God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favours...and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted...yet I received everything I needed

My prayer has been answered.
